1.

Turn OFF both UTILITY (NORMAL) and
EMERGENCY (STANDBY) power supplies before
connecting power source and load lines to transfer
switch and SMM.

NOTE: 

Suitable conduit fittings must be installed in

knockout openings when running supply and load wires.

NOTE: 

Use at least 75 ºC 

(167 ºF) 

rated wire and gauge

per installation instructions. Refer to table for
recommended wire size based on load current.

2.

Run line supply wires per applicable NEC code
articles for wiring method selected.

3.

Run load wires per applicable NEC code articles
for wiring method selected.

4.

Connect line supply wiring to line side of SMM
contactor field terminals. See 

Figure 3-2

. Tighten

field terminals to 25 

in-lbs

 (2.8 Nm).

5.

Connect load supply wiring to load side of SMM
contactor field terminals. See 

Figure 3-2

.

NOTE: 

If neutral and ground wires are included, connect

inside SMM using a listed termination device.

The unit is now ready to configure, apply power, and
perform testing.

Setting Priorities

High priority 240 VAC loads should be set to the highest
priorities so those loads recover first, in the event of
generator overload. 

NOTE: 

The highest priority, and first load to activate is

Priority 1. The last load to activate is Priority 8. 

Setting priority determines timing for 3 scenarios:

Order in which loads recover

Delay time until power returns during an outage

Delay time for post load shed recovery
